Lunn, DE, Lampropoulos, A and Stewart, TD (2016) Basic Biomechanics of the Hip. Orthopaedics and Trauma, 30 (3). pp. 239-246. ISSN 1877-1327
Abstract
The basic mechanical principles which govern how the hip joint maintains equilibrium and balance during standing and performing activities is explained along with the consequences when this balanced system is compromised. A description of the movements and forces acting around the hip joint that are expected during activities of daily living is offered and also how these movements are affected following total hip replacement, with particular reference to femoral offset and leg length inequality.
